Introduction

1.1 BackgroundLand is a basic but finite natural resource upon which all other natural resources are based. It is a foundation for thedevelopment of all societies. The management of land impacts on the lives of the people who use it so fundamentally that it isnot only emotive but also etremely eplosive.

The unprecedented global population growth witnessed in the recent past continues to eert a lot of pressure on land! the

resultant effects being land fragmentation! degradation! overgra"ing! deforestation and unsustainable agricultural practicesamongst others. The state of affairs is eacerbated by improperly defined land and property rights.

1.2 #ationaleLand policy regulates the access! development and management of land. $ sound land policy is a critical factor in economicgrowth! food production and security! nature conservation! the protection of vulnerable groups! poverty reduction and provisionof housing. Land policy and land policy instruments determine how a government can provide e%uitable access to land! offertenure security! regulate the land market! implement land reforms and protect environment.

Like many other developing countries! &enya lacked a coherent land policy and a land administration framework to guidesustainable land practices until 'essional (aper )o. * of 2++, on )ational Land (olicy came into effect. -urthermore!administration and management of land remains the responsibility of professionals in the traditional disciplines of land surveyingand land economics. To this end! land officials are land surveyors! land economists! lawyers or other social scientists. Theseprofessionals lack re%uisite competencies to deal with the comple and ever changing challenges in land administration andmanagement. hereas! the eisting institutions have successfully trained their graduates in the above disciplines! none so far isinvolved in e%uipping graduates with the contemporary tools and in depth aspects of land administration in terms of processes!institutions and legislative framework amongst others. The proposed Bachelor of 'cience in Land $dministration is designed tofill this gap. The programme uses a four tier approach to achieve its ob/ectives as follows0 -oundation coursesTechnical principles$pplication(rofessional studies

This programme of study aims to produce graduates for careers in all government and non governmental organi"ations dealing with management of land resources! institutions dealing with research and advocacy in land issues! development partners!organi"ations with landed interests! local authorities! law firms and private practice amongst others. 1.* Training ob/ectivesThe graduates of this programme will be comprehensively e%uipped in matters related but not restricted to0adastral survey proceduresLand valuation3evelopment of a digital land register for the countryLand rights and infrastructure managementLand rights in relation to 4I56$I3' and genderInformal settlements and slumsLand consolidation and ad/udication
